Sorry,but I am a real dumbo!It took me a while to figure out that TB
stands for Thuderbird!
I know there has been a lot of posts on the above issue ie should the
reply be over or below the belt(!!)
My personal opinion is -it is a matter of choice.
In one of the posts I read that you can change it by going through the
following process:Tools-Options-Composition-Addressing.
Well I want to change my reply format which will enable me to have my
reply over the previous message but have not been able to do so using
the above advice as there is nothing that can be changed while going
through the above process!
Any advice would be appreciated!
Please,!!! I do not want to start off on this topic again!Just want a
plain n simple answer.

Actually, the correct path to change your settings on top or bottom
posting is tools>account settings>"your newsgroup">composition &
addressing. There you can choose to have you answer above or below the
quoted material.

Crelox has already answered your question. You may like to know that you
can have the setting different for individual newsgroups. So you can set
your preferred method for other groups and the (group) preferred setting
(i.e. bottom posting) for this one.

Best of both worlds :-)

Posting below the quoted matter is the convention here. If you post on
top, you will receive strong suggestions to change you posting method.

You can change your preference on a per server basis by going to the
account settings, and changing the option for that account.
